hi, i just compiled kernel 2.4.5 on my vaio pcg-sr1k and there are a few things i still haven't figured out:
usb worked out of the box (the memory-stick slot, and the usb mouse i'm using), after grabbing the latest drivers from alsa-project.org and compiling i had sound as well. next i downloaded and compiled pcmcia-cs and even though it basically works i am still experiencing problems with my pcmcia cd-drive... -cardmgr detects the drive successfully and marks it as /dev/hde (the debian installation originally marked it as /dev/hdc) ... however it is not linked to /dev/cdrom and not mounted automatically. i tried mounting /dev/hde which works for cd-roms ... playback of audio cds doesn't work at all (i tried various player apps with /dev/hde -- didn't work) how do i generally get audio cds to play back??? apart from that, if i insert the cd-card manually (cardctl insert) cardctl seems to hang (or wait for something) and i need to use ctrl-c to stop it (i can access the cd-drive after that though) other than that i cannot use the winmodem and the firewire port so far... cat /proc/pci detects the following: Bus 0, device 10, function 0: Communication controller: PCI device 14f1:2443 (CONEXANT) (rev 1). Bus 0, device 7, function 3: FireWire (IEEE 1394): Sony Corporation CXD3222 i.Link Controller (rev 2). i already know that there is a driver for conexant winmodems for kernel 2.2.x does anybody know if there is a version for 2.4.x kernels? i also wanted to ask if anybody has experience with this modem and the i.link controller? thanks! vester
